Used Essential Oils Book in GREAT shape!Reviewed by Brandi Snyder, 2010-02-09
I was really nervous about buying a used item online, but I am very happy with this book. It's in GREAT shape and I paid way less than my friends did for the same book! It also came in pretty good time and I didn't even have to go to the store. Love it.
Incomplete!!!Reviewed by Tomakin, 2010-01-02
This is a recipe book for blending essential oils to treat specific
illnesses, injuries, or other problems. The book covered 10 oils in
limited detail and had no information on many of the oils that are
included in the recipes. I was very disappointed and got very
little of value from reading this book as I wanted to learn about
many different oils and their properties.
Here is a much better book and the best one that I have found to
date on essential oils: Chemistry Of Essential Oils Made Simple:
GOD'S LOVE MANIFEST IN MOLECULES
complete book of essential oils and aromatherapyReviewed by MooTater, 2009-12-18
This is an awesome book. The remedies work great. I have not been to see a dr. for 2 years. I have used natural meds and essential oils. It has worked for me. I am not a medical professional so you have to use your own judgement.
Great book for humans, can be deadly for pets.Reviewed by Prometheus Lass, 2009-11-06
Warning: Before I start this review, everyone who reads this book
must know that her advice on pets and essential oils is wrong. Dogs
and cats cannot process the chemicals in essential oils and so it
is such a strong poison to them, that it can kill them. I would
have given this book four stars if she hadn't included that
section.
With that said, this book is a good book for essential oil
beginners, of which I am one. There is a lot of preamble based on
how to use them, how to recognize quality essential oils, and their
uses. Users who are very familiar with essential oil usage and are
looking for something without a lot of background information that
contains mostly blends and suggestions might not be as happy with
this book.
What I particularly like about this book, is that she lays out 10
basic oils from which many blends can be made. This is very good
for those of us who don't have hundreds of dollars to spend on
creating a huge kit of essential oils. As you go, you can start
adding oils that you particularly like or need to the basic ten,
but the basic ten are pretty affordable.
The book contains a handy quick reference near the beginning for
common ailments, has chapters with blends for many health issues,
children's health, women's health, men's health, perfumery, beauty,
cleaning, and creating pleasant aromas for your house.
I think that most people (especially beginners) will have the best
experience with this book and their blends if they are very
circumspect about making sure that they are truly using therapeutic
grade essential oil, and since essential oils aren't regulated,
this can be difficult because there are many companies on the
market that claim they sell therapeutic grade oil, but actually
dilute it in a carrier base, or use a combination of ingredients
that smell the same, but aren't really the true product.
Thankfully, Worwood provides not only a detailed explanation of how
to test for purity of product, but also provides a list of
essential oil companies that she as a practitioner has found to be
trustworthy.
The main drawback of this book is its section on pets. As I stated
in the warning, it is critically important that you not use
essential oils on pets. However, with this caveat I can recommend
this is a great book for essential oil beginners.
